The Bureau trailer offers viewers a choice

The latest live-action trailer for The Bureau: XCOM declassified stars Dominic Monaghan and invites audience participation to decide his fate.

Monaghan, who is best known as Merry in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films as well as Lost’s Charlie, stars as agent Ennis Cole.

In the wake of the first Pima Incident, Cole is faced with a choice; do 2K’s marketing work for them by tweeting #GrabTheGun or #GrabTheBottle before July 24 to influence his decision.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is due on August 20 in North America and August 23 in Europe, for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. 2K is running some sort of ARG involving other trailers and lots of weird tweets. Pretty sure the answer is going to be “aliens, and also buy our game” though.
